Our next destination:
Netherlands - from Jan 2025 until Jun 2025 View allDescription
Hello!
We are Jeremy & Lance, two friends who are looking to experience new cultures, meet people, and learn new skills. We are 26/27 years old from New Zealand. We met each other in university and have been on many trips together. Currently we are doing workaways in the Netherlands until the end of October. We are looking to stay in Ireland and the UK from November to January.
Why We Want to Workaway:
We are interested in Workaway as it offers a great opportunity for us to immerse ourselves in new cultures (share our own) and learn new skills. We’re excited about the chance to work on a variety of projects, while also learning from others. We would love to make new friends and memories with a variety of people around the world.
Cultural Exchange and Learning:
We are passionate about cultural exchange and love sharing our own culture while learning about others. Whether it’s cooking a traditional meal from our home country, teaching a few words in our native language, or sharing stories from our travels, we are eager to connect with our hosts on a personal level.
Availability:
We are fully booked out for the foreseeable future.
Why You’ll Love Hosting Us:
We are enthusiastic, responsible, easygoing, and tidy. We approach every task with a positive attitude and are committed to making sure our hosts have a great experience with us.
Looking Forward to Meeting You!
We’re excited about the possibility of sharing a slice of life with you and learning from the experience. If you think we’d be a good fit, we’d love to chat more and see how we can help. Thank you for considering us, and we hope to meet you soon!
Kind regards,
Jeremy & LanceInterests
